Moving quickly and destabilizing things is exactly the move, because the folks who have to pick up the pieces and hold him accountable will do so by following process, which is a lengthier, arduous, and scheduled series of actions that will be dragged along in his wake as he barrels through the government.

This is awesome, as is the number of people over in the XDA comments all finding a way to get angry at software they’ve never used.

Tidal-dl is simply incredible. Lots of folks out there using this to get rips of new music to upload to sites like RED.

The freeleech token distributions are the way to go. I think most RED users got over a hundred for the new year, which was in no way related to its downtime and new domain. :p

Anyway, freeleeching and permaseeding the content you know you already like is the way build ratio, then you can start downloading against your buffer. Takes a while. Truthfully, in the era of cheap(er) streaming and TIDAL downloaders, music piracy sites are becoming more and more obsolete.

I mentioned the RED downtime, which was really prolonged late last year. I was surprised at how little chaos that downtime created—if that had happened ten years ago users would have gone crazy. It’s the case now, though, that music streaming is simply so accessible and relatively inexpensive that having your main music tracker down for months isn’t really detrimental to your everyday access to music.

Evidently this is a multi-nation exercise called Bamboo Eagle 25-1

Welcome to web 4.0, where the vocal minority monopolizes all of our feeds

This mirrors what’s happening with men of the same age in the US.

If more people would deliver critique theatrically I think we’d have more people caring about what’s happening.

There’s a dissonant sense of disbelief at just how brazenly the conservative machine in America initiates its agenda.

Every so often I’m reminded about Lemmy, about its existence across multiple proprietary servers, and about this thing here for piracy. If the ship goes down I’d like to keep sailing.

Tbh I’m not sure where it’s pulling from. It and bitsearch.to are my go-tos for public-facing torrents.

Love Island looks like it’s available on BT4G.org

Thank you! Finding new communities has been…challenging. Finding new communities is like mining and finally clearing away enough dirt to go “Aha! There you are!”

I’m surprised that more subs have been apathetic or disagreeable to a continued blackout. Everybody’s doing polls that turn into keep-us-open-because-community. As @MrJizzard said up above (how can I tag users on here?) maybe blind support for Reddit’s moves is just what happens when users are cut off from scrolling through their content.

Thank god for Lemmy

I guess

This wouldn’t be a proper Reddit replacement if an anonymous user didn’t take the time out of his day to type that “free rein” was the correct spelling here

Thank you! Gah. Still trying to figure out how to embed these from the web version so it isn’t just a dead link.

That knowledge is with the users who propagated it and they can do it again

I think there is a way to do it, but redditors have been encountering problems accessing the feature necessary for this kind of deletion.

It’s definitely not as streamlines as reddit, but 18 years ago reddit wasn’t streamlined, either
